Hiya. Yeah I was at full health with 100k. Item level around 474. I still got killed in one hit with no vul debuffs. I've seen tanks with 140k health get hit and die in one hit and not because of the knockback.

Figure I give everyone an update on how this week went. Much better. When I came home from work and logged in I qued up for all 4. E7 was one shotted but we had an healer who knew the mechanics and was doing an amazing job. The other healer still struggled with the light/dark combined and so did one of the tanks. I got hit by one of the wrong colors cause i spaced out for a second and couldn't remember what color i had to switch to. Other than that all the other mechanics went well.

I'm really grateful for everyone's feedback on the matter and keeping it to a friendly conversation. When I first made this thread I wasn't asking for the mechanic to change but the punishment of it to make it consistent with the first part where there is only white birds flying at you. I'm still not a fan of it being a one shot mechanic if you get hit by the wrong color, but I do understand it better. I may adjust my job and bring my red mage over my dragoon so I can help healers rez for those who still get hit by it.

Thanks again everyone.
